Cody's no-hitter gives Chamberlain crown

Cody struck out 10 and walked three. That followed a one-hit, 13-strikeout effort in a 10-0 victory against King in the semifinals.

Melissa Zick's three-run triple keyed a seven-run first for the Chiefs, who improved to 23-6 but were only 7-5 in their past 12. Natalie Ippolito added a two-run triple during the inning.

Sharks drop Bulls

SARASOTA -- Riverview ended its seasonlong drought against rival Bloomingdale and at the same time claimed the district title with a 3-0 win.

The Bulls (23-6) won both previous contests in extra innings and held the Sharks (24-5) scoreless in 18 innings. That streak ended in the bottom of the first.

Kim Tarre started the rally with a liner off Bloomingdale pitcher Stacey Bronson. Kaycie Maines walked and Brooke Wendel followed with a sacrifice bunt. An errant throw allowed Tarre to score and Meghan Manso lifted a sacrifice fly to center for all the runs the Sharks would need.

Sharks pitcher Beth DiPietro (22-4) tossed the five-hit shutout.

Plant City sparkles

At Haines City, Plant City's Tracy Durrance said she knew it could happen, she just didn't expect it in the final game against crosstown rival Durant.

Plant City did everything it had to do from defense to pitching to hitting, beating Durant 4-0 to win the title.

The Raiders struck out only one and walked one but managed to scoop up everything Durant put in play, holding the Cougars to two hits.
